Mark& team, I’ve just read the account of your adventure in the Cherry Lodge Cancer care newsletter. My goodness me, what a man you are, I was blown away by your sheer determination and courage! Having been a volunteer myself at Cherry Lodge for over 10 years and having met Amanda briefly when she helped at the shop I felt compelled to make a donation. Thank you for all you do and by the looks of it there is much more to come!

Marconi Transat Challenge - Canada to UK Atlantic Sail
Marc Sidney is raising money for CHERRY LODGE CANCER CARE and North London Hospice
My story
For those of you who know me well (and for those of you who don’t), I decided to set myself a personal challenge this year as I approach my 60th birthday in January 2023.
So I settled on short sail across the North Atlantic with an eight person crew. Some may call it the peak of a mid life crisis, I see it as the optimal test of my mental and physical strength. We will be crossing from St. John’s in Canada to Cowes on the Isle of Wight in the UK - a 1900 nautical mile sale across 11 days, commencing on 23rd July - passing no other land en route and with 25+ knots speed, minimal sleep, 2 hours on, 2 hours off, this will be a true test of endurance! The sailing boat, Osprey, can be tracked across the Atlantic via the following link - forecast.predictwind.com/tracking/display/Osprey/?mapMode=useGoogle&windSymbol=WindStreamlines&weatherSource=ECMWF
Whilst doing this as a personal challenge, I wanted to take the opportunity to raise some much needed funds for two charities very close to my heart, The North London Hospice and Cherry Lodge Cancer Care Centre.
North London Hospice provides free care and support to patients suffering from illnesses that cannot be cured, living within the London Boroughs of Barnet, Enfield and Haringey. North London Hospice is multi-faith and aims to cater for people of all faiths, and those of none. northlondonhospice.org/
Cherry Lodge Cancer Care is a charity committed to improving the quality of life for those living with cancer, their carers and families. cherrylodgecancercare.org.uk/
All donations will be split equally between both amazing charities. I greatly appreciate any donation large or small - thank you so much and see you back on dry land - Over and Out - 'Captain' Marc Sidney!
Thank you for checking out my page. Making a donation is fast, easy and secure thanks to Give as you Live Donate. They'll take your donation and pass it onto CHERRY LODGE CANCER CARE and North London Hospice.

CHERRY LODGE CANCER CARE provides information, support and complementary therapies to people living with cancer, their carers, family and friends. Its centre in Barnet serves much of North London and surrounding areas. The aims are to improve quality of life, to promote well-being and to encourage a strong resolve for self-help. The service is available to all in need, on request, completely free of charge. NHS and local government grants cover less than 5% of running costs.
Serving the London Boroughs of Barnet, Enfield and Haringey, North London Hospice cares for over 1300 terminally ill patients and their families every year, in their own homes and at the in-patient unit at Woodside Park, Finchley. They also offer a day service, bereavement counselling and family support, all provided in a multi-faith environment. These services are given free to all those in need and the hospice relies on donations to raise most of the £4.4 million that is needed to keep it running every year.
